ACTIVITY 3: Extract on HOMOPHOBIA

Read the extract below then answer the questions that follow.

Homophobia should it be addressed?

Hiding your identity will eventually take its toll, whether it's being done consciously or
unconsciously. For me the last few years of my teens were an incredibly difficult and
anxious time. As my female friends started talking about boys, dating, and embarking
upon long term relationships, I found I had no interest in the opposite sex at all, and
started to feel like there was something horribly wrong with me. I tried to pretend to be
like the other girls, but that didn't really feel good, I became far more interested in writing
and making theatre than I was in boys, so I threw myself in to that instead. My family
rejected me, and some community members called me names, some people
aggressively addressed me! Oh, what a cruel world!

Adapted: https://www.diversityrolemodels.org/news/hiding-your-identity-takes-its-toll
